We are a nation of ice cream eaters. Depending on the source, we are either number 1, 2, or 3 in the highest consumption of ice cream per capita. I'm not that surprised really.

So, given that we are all ice cream lovers, I'm sure that you'd be very interested in finding out who won the awards in this year's Ice Cream Awards. I am surprised that Tip Top still does well in some categories, I would have thought our boutique ice cream makers would beat them in a blind taste test? 

Without further ado, here are this year's winners - congratulations to you all!

    I thought there were a few surprising omissions; I suppose that reflects that they didn't enter rather than that they didn't win?
